U.S. Congressional Serial Set<\/strong>
\n1817-Date
\n<\/strong>
\nThe\u00a0United States Congressional Serial Set,\u00a0<\/em>commonly referred to as the\u00a0Serial Set<\/em>, is considered an essential publication for unveiling American history. Spanning more than two centuries and with more than 15,500 bound volumes, the records in this series include House and Senate Documents, as well as House and Senate Reports. The reports are usually from congressional committees dealing with proposed legislation and issues under investigation. The documents include all other papers ordered printed by the House or Senate. Documents cover a wide variety of topics, including reports of executive departments and independent organizations, reports of special investigations made for Congress, and annual reports of non-governmental organizations. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, executive-branch materials were also published in the\u00a0Serial Set<\/em>.<\/p>\n

American State Papers<\/strong>
\n1789-1838<\/strong><\/p>\n

United States Congressional Documents from the period 1789 to 1817 are published under the title\u00a0American State Papers<\/em>, which consists of 38 volumes. The two series overlap, as\u00a0American State Papers<\/em>\u00a0covers through 1838. Full coverage of the\u00a0American State Paper<\/em>s are available within this collection inside HeinOnline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
